Futurist Speaker Mike

Mike, bestselling author of FUTURETAINMENT and CEO of innovation research lab Tomorrow, is a leading authority on the digital future and emerging markets. Constantly traveling the world for the best ideas, Mike curates the most relevant insights into high-impact keynotes that help audiences not only understand but also influence the future direction of their industry. Mike helps prepare business leaders for what's next. Rather than focusing on the distant future, Mike takes an anthropological approach—scanning the near horizon for disruptive technologies and consumer innovations on the verge of hitting critical mass, and then translating these into usable business strategies.

Mike's expertise involves explaining new patterns of consumer behavior and disruptive technologies in emerging markets. His advisory work and keynote presentations provide unique insights into the growing influence of new markets on breakthrough innovation and business transformation.

Mike is an expert on emerging markets. Mike's new book, The Divergence, charts the rise of online consumers in the fast-growing BRIC markets. His central contention is that tomorrow's Web will be radically different from conventional Western models and will require entirely new engagement strategies.

In his current role at Tomorrow, Mike has advised the CEOs and senior management teams of companies such as BBC Worldwide, Fujifilm, Richemont, MSN, Star TV, Televisa, Globe Telecom, Philips, Merck Pharmaceuticals, and HSBC. Before this, he ran the market-leading consumer insights house Jupiter Research in the Asia Pacific and held senior strategy roles at News Corporation in both the Australian and Asian markets.

Mike is a dynamic and high-energy presenter, blending a multimedia feast of video, high-impact visuals, and mind-blowing case studies of innovation from his personal experiences in cutting-edge global markets. Whether it's a conference, strategy offsite, or an intimate boardroom discussion, Mike's presentations act as a powerful catalyst for innovation, strategic planning, and brand inspiration.
